Virgin Mobile to release the Samsung Galaxy Discover

Along with Bell, TELUS and SaskTel, Virgin Mobile will also release the entry-level Samsung Galaxy Discover. The price looks like it’ll be $149.99 outright and as for specs, this little gem runs OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, has a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 320×480), 3MP camera and an 800 MHz single core processor. This should arrive later this week…

(Thanks tipster!)

Sometimes I don’t understand the logic with pricing. This phone is a worse version of the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, yet (temporarily at least) they have the same tab value at $150 (Ace 2 has a MSRP of $200 but you get it for $0 with a $150 tab)

If they really want these lower priced phones to sell and attract entry level users, this phone has to be $129.99 or less

So Telus sells it for $70 and Virgin decides to sell it for $150… That makes total sense

And people say the newest BB Curve is dated.. this actually has worse specs

FYI, Virgin pricing is almost always different than retail. They just put a higher retail, so people from other providers (IE Bell, Telus) don’t outright purchase it from us and hook it up there.

It’ll likely be 150 prepaid, and 0 with a 100 tab, and a $50 device credit, like the Ace 2 X, or Razr V (200 tab with a $150 device credit) or 9320 (150 tab, $50 device credit).

With the Ace 2X, I am really surprised about this phone being released..
